LOL indeed about DH. The main basis for opinion was twofold: the difficulty for her of smuggling the letters out of jail, and his deeply-baked belief in just how evil she is, and just how much she hated TA.
Honestly? Everything else aside, both of those opinions, whatever their merit, aren't evidence-based. He sent me off on one heck of a ride through a speculative landscape that night, but back here on earth, I'm not convinced he's right about the letters, and I do think a BPD & reactive (rather than strategic) lying prism is warranted.
FWIW:
1. Ryan & first discussed her going to SLC (he invited her) in the first week of May. She didn't commit to going , according to Ryan, until the last week in May, when she called him to say she was making a road trip into LA & could swing by for one day on her way back to Yreka.
2. A less complex reason might have posed as MariaM could be that she was trying to trap TA into not only flirting on line, but committing to an Un-Mormon-like rendezvous with a stranger he "met" online. To use against him (send down the pipeline) to make Mimi go away, as on May 13, if she was on a destroy-competition mission, Mimi was it.
3. The was broke in mid-May. She hadn't worked since her return to Yreka a month earlier. Her car was basically a junker, since she had never bothered to take care of it; iirc, she had to feed it quarts of oil or some such very frequently lest it blow up on her.
I'm not sure she could have afforded a Utah trip without pulling it off the way she did, which included Brewer giving her $$$ and I'm pretty sure, her robbing cash from TA's house as well as wallet.
Last night I googled NA55 Maria M 'her name' and somehow landed on this. Your timeline written in 2016. I copy pasted below (thread is old so I can't reply). It's very long. What's new, right?
(Reading your analysis below made me rethink about the letters. See where I bolded. I'm thinking the un-lost phone now)

"4/5. leaves Mesa knowing Lisa is out of the picture and thinks Travis has given up on Mimi.
4/11. Mimi posts on FB a friendly warm message about/to Travis.
4/19- through May 9, the killer wages a near non-stop campaign to get Travis to visit her MySpace page, texts him to open up that forwarded email she sent, that it isn't junk, gains access to his passwords.
On April 18 she tells him twice to include a sweet note in what he's sending her.
The 2nd text:
"definitely send me a sweet note- a handwritten note."
April 19, same day as an extended series of very annoyed texts sent to her by TA about her not sending him the photos he asked her to for his webpage (photos of Naps) in fact in tbe middle of those, she texts him:
"We need to redo the shaving scene. They aren't what I was going for. I'll make you look way better the next time!"
April 22. Texts him referring indirectly to the little red riding hood scenario. He says "deal. A forest activity ."
April 22. Texts her- i never leave you comments on your MySpace page. Her to him a few minutes later- change it. (He may have texted in between and text was deleted).
4/26. Texts him a webpage to go to: paint your reality.com. Tells him- this is for you.
Blackmail vs. Murder plans, continued....
4/29. Mimi has agreed to go to Cancun, the killer starts texting and calling with Ryan Burns multiple times a day.
First week in May- the killer tells Travis to drop everything and visit her in Yreka. He says no. Burns tells her- come visit and don't play hard to get.
Through May 10. Travis goes to CA but does not visit her. On May 9, his last day in CA, the killer texts him incessantly, demanding his attention, and doesn't get it until she sends him that "accidental" text supposedly meant for Steve Carroll, telling imaginary Steve that beware, her ex-boyfriend has her passwords.
This gets T's attention and he lights into her. As she knew he would. And when TA drops it for a bit, she provokes him again with yet another accidental text. He's really pissed now. She expected he would be.
But she's not looking for just any kind of pissed. She's looking specifically to provoke him into saying something that makes it sound like he's angry because he's jealous.
That's NOT why he's angry, but she texts him responses as if it were, getting on the record-- look, Travis. I knew I shouldn't have told you all that because it always makes you so angry. Please don't try to guilt me anymore about seeing other guys. I'm trying to move on. Let's adopt a policy of don't ask don't tell.
Once she has that convenient comment on the record (one utterly untethered to reality) she has what she wants. She's made it look like Travis is hacking into HER accounts, that he gets insanely jealous and rages when she mentions other guys, and that she responds reasonably and suggests a solution to avoid making him angry in the future. She texts him minutes after that----have a good night. I'm tired of texting.
They stop texting. 10-15 minute later a chat starts on her MySpace page; his password is changed within the first minute of the chat.
The chat is about how she is a sex goddess and he'll never find anyone like her again, that he's responsible for most of their fights, and hey, let's have phone sex right NOW.
The May 10 sex tape supposedly came next.
So far in the timeline...manufacturing evidence to send to women to destroy him? To chase them away?
Or as a record to support the story she will in fact tell after she kills him, about his anger and jealousy and insatiable and kinky sexual interest in her?
Do the next few days change anything?
On May 12-13 Travis has a marathon text session with NA55, an unidentified person who he doesn't text with before or after these days. By the end of the session NA55 has supposedly gone over to his house for wild sex.
On May 14 Travis accuses her directly of hacking into his LDS link up account with multiple bogus accounts.
She denies and denies then tells him- if I wanted to go into your account all I'd have to do is use my own account-jodiA, and you would never know anyway.
Mid-May. Travis tells Regan he knows the slashed his tires, stalked him, hacked his FaceBook, and no doubt she is snooping as they speak. Tells Regan- go ahead and say hi to Jodi. Regan says- I'm going to totally do it with Travis.
Mid-May. THE KILLER CALLS DARRYL BREWER TO BORROW GAS CANS.
May 18. The killer files a police report saying her Helio was stolen from the front seat of her car.
There are no texts between TA and the killer after mid day the 17 until the 22.
How convenient? A papering over of the fact TA had already cut her off after catching her on May 13? To make her lie about the Helio being stolen more plausible? Because she was too busy brass tacks planning a murder?
May 22. Travis texts the killer- I know what you did and I'm not mad. She tells him she's in a world of trouble and some of it involves him, but it is way way bigger than that and involves a bunch of other people.
He tells her to put it in an email. Refuses to talk with her on the phone or by text.
Her May 22 journal entry, almost certainly written after she's killed him will say that this day marked the end of their relationship, and was the day they agreed not to share passwords anymore.
Their next communication will begin late May 25 into May 26, and will be the last time they are in touch at all until she badgers him with texts late night June1 through early morning June 2, until he answers. An hour later she is in her car on her way to kill him.
Draw your own conclusions.
I think she had fantasies or even partial plans about murdering him as early as that day in April when she told him she wanted to redo the shaving photos, but that she also kept options open (Burns, chasing away GF's) until mid-May.
Since JM has said she began actively planning his murder by mid-May, here's a question. What was she trying to accomplish on May 26 by provoking him into such rage?
How was what she did and said on May 26 part of her already existing plan to kill Travis?

I don't see any "x" or "delete" or "cancel" option.
